Here are some review notes from this week’s lesson in our preschool and K-4 classes. This week we studied 2 Timothy 3:14-17 – God Breathed the Scriptures. This is lesson 71 of 78 in our study of the New Testament. This lesson corresponds with Story 149 in The Gospel Story Bible and with Week 71 of the Old Story New family devotional.

Gospel Truth for Today

The good news of Jesus’ death in our place and for our sin is made known in God’s word, the Bible. And, God’s word is “able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 3:15)
